The Bay Horse in Barrow-in-Furness

Extortionate price of £7:25 for a coffee and a tea.Most expensive I have had outside of London.Wont be back. Can't understand how these prices can be justified

Honest pub grub at a reasonable price and it was hot. What more could you want for a pub lunch. Service was good and it was pretty busy too. Would happily eat here again.

The food is basic but nice, not much home made stuff on the menu though. good atmosphere and service and really good value for money. However, after going a few times over the past 18 months or so, I feel that the menu could do with a bit of a shake up. It's been exactly the same each Time with not a great lot of variety. Especially the sweet menu. It could do with having a couple of lighter options as the choices on there are all quite heavy and stodgy which not what everyone wants after eating a main meal. This time, I tried the toffee crunch pie but regretfully there was nothing crunchy about it at all. If anything it seemed a bit stale in the bits that should have been crunchy. They have done a lot with the outside space this year though which looks great and plenty of seating.

Absolutely love this place , beer garden is great , staff are really friendly and the food is great , we don't live too far and whenever the sun is out we love to sit out with an ice cold beer.

Visited numerous times for meals and quizes but the roast dinner on a Sunday is excellent.You can have small medium and large. The sticky toffee is the best I've ever tasted

Visited for the first time since covid and the food has gone way down hill. Sirloin steak only seared on one side, not rested therefore in a pool of blood and very chewy. The waiter said they had changed meat supplier. Steak pie was very salty with a cold flaky pastry top obviously added after the meat had been heated. The menu has been greatly reduced and not surprisingly the place was half empty. Once regular customers we will not be visiting again.

Used to go here regularly for the excellent quality of thier ribeye. No longer on the menu but was told by the waiter the sirloin was excellent. It wasnt. Ordered it medium rare. No sear and completely unseasoned. Overcooked on one side and raw on the other. Bleeding on my plate so obviously not rested (not that would have made any difference). Poor quality chewy meat badly cooked. Total waste of money. Can't believe how much this place has deteriorated

It's been years since I last visited, a really nice welcome on arrival, shown to table and our drinks order taken and served quickly. A decent menu and our order taken and served in good time. We all enjoyed our food which was of good quality. Price very reasonable. Staff very friendly and efficient and looked after us very well. Very clean and our table cleared quickly when we had all finished. Very clean toilets which had good disabled access. A good night had by all.

Not eaten here for several years, decor been updated but furniture the same, saggy uncomfortable chairs. Ordered scamp and chips, scampi looked a fair size when it came alas it wasn't, hollow inside apart from a tiny piece of scampi. Won't be back when visiting the area again.

Popped in here after many years of passing by. Glad I did. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff are so nice and very efficient. I go Weds lunch time with my mum and have been for drinks in the beer garden when its warmer. Lovely food and I can recommend the lasagne and chips. The baked potatoes are a very good size and come with a lovely side salad and dressing. Highly recommend.

Lovely food & service. Long time since visiting here & the decor is very modern & nice. Cheap prices & great food, went for lunch, didn't need to pre book and plenty of tables to choose from.

Shame on the proprietor of this establishment who discriminated against my mother because of her hidden disabilities. Let me explain... My elderly mother is recovering from brain surgery, which has left her with epilepsy and necessitates her to take medication to suppress full-on seizures. When we arrived at the Bay Horse, my mam had to take one of these tablets, so I asked the staff to give us five minutes while she recovered from the effects of taking the medication. When my mam was feeling a little better, I approached the bar to order a drink and explain why she was feeling unwell. The landlady's abrupt response was to ask us to leave. When I asked her why, she said: "I have to protect my customers. I have lost enough money through this pandemic". Shocked by her response, I explained again what was wrong with my mam and that she didn't have Covid. The landlady then said: "OK. I'll let you have one drink but then I'd like you leave". Refusing the drink, I informed her that you can't catch epilepsy. What makes this experience all the more distressing and upsetting is that it was my mam's 73rd birthday.

I went here with friends recently. There were 12 of us so we had to pre order. All meals looked lovely and were good value. The place has a big car park and it is a big pub. A good pub meal

We decided to go somewhere different for our lunch while visiting Barrow as we had heard good reports from other people that had visited there recently. When we arrived a very friendly man showed us to our table, very polite and friendly and new how to put people at ease. I found the food to be very reasonably priced £8.50 for a homemade steak and ale pie with chips and peas.Childrens jumbo sausage chips and peas was only £3.75. Very substantial portions especially for the child's meal. The steak and ale pie was also very tasty. Welldone Bay horse we will be back.

A fantastic meal with a stunning view across the water. A gem that should be better known and enjoyed by many.

Amazing Food, Amazing Atmosphere, Quick Service, Friendly Staff. Really Good Food&Drink Selections... Out In The Country But Worth The Train From Manchester

This is a great place to get a value meal. Food always good, not many places you can come back to and find good quality grub. Service friendly and first class a pleasure to be served.

Great home cooked food. One of the most underrated restaurants in the area. The meals are consistently good for a very reasonable cost.

We go quite regular for a meal at the Bay Horse. The food is always good. Plenty of it and nice and hot. The tables are well spaced out so it doesn't feel over crowded. The service is very good and you don't have to...

Walked in on the off chance as had been visiting at the hospital,very friendly staff. Ordered food and only waited half hour,,everything was lovely and very fresh. Really impressed and will be back.

I wish there were more pubs like this about! I had the lasagna and my boyfriend had chicken, both cooked to perfection but also nothing fancy (in a good way). Friendly, attentive staff and the food arrived in good time. Very happy we dined here...

Excellent meal. Pub grub, but hot and freshly cooked. Really good portions and tasty. The pub was packed and we had booked so our table was ready. Staff very pleasant and obliging

I popped in here the other week after work for a pint and some pub grub food. Good atmosphere in the place. Beer there was excellent and reasonable price and the food was spot on just what I need traditional food and all home cooked.

Havent been for a while, no reason, just finding time, but glad I did. March 2019, turned up at the last-minute decision to call in for something to eat. I ordered the Scampi and Chips with Mushy Peas, and I ordered a Pot of Tea,...

Food was very good got a lesson on what a mocha really is from steph the lovely lady, very pretty too ;) highly recommend steph!!

Visité The Bay Horse para almorzar con un viejo amigo. Pedí el scampi empanado mientras mi amigo pidió el pescado y las patatas fritas. Ambas comidas fueron excelentes, bien cocinadas, no grasosas ya un costo muy razonable. El personal del bar y los camareros eran amables, eficientes y estaban dispuestos a ayudar de cualquier manera posible para asegurar que el cliente estuviera contento.

Visited for Sunday lunch. There is an extensive menu and the prices were reasonable.

Ik hier saucise and mash gegeten, worst met pure.

Had a Sunday lunch of roast beef. Reasonable portions and tasty, although a tad too much gravy. Quite a large restaurant area which had been booked out, so we ate in the bar. Friendly staff. Not really a cosy pub and didn't have much ambience but obviously popular with senior citizens as lots of good offers on the menu for them. Plenty of parking.

Come here quite often the food is what I would describe as pub grub but it's really good pub grub you get great service and has a good selection on the menu at reasonable prices the drinks are competetive prices as well and if your drinking the no 1 bus stops and picks up right outside great spot for a drink and bite to eat

Went as a party of 5 to take our mum for lunch. The food is just very good pub food. Excellent meats, lovely veg, very dry chips, buttery mash and very tasty puddings. We all really enjoyed lunch and such good value.

Nipped in after Xmas shopping for decorations and we were welcomed by helpful friendly staff.

Family birthday food was lovely had a roast beef dinner. Food was lovely and tasty plenty of it. Amaretto cheesecake to follow. Reasonably priced £12.95 for two courses service was good was very busy we booked with it being a Sunday and being near xmas. Highly recommended

Haven't been up here in years but a friend works there and said the food is great so wanted to give it a try. Everytime I've been in here recently it's been full of people in the dining area and half decent in the bar area too. Always a good sign. Lots of choice on the menu, not too pricey. I ordered chicken in garlic mushroom was really nice. So much more I want to try on the menu will have to get myself back sometime.

Good venue for a family party of extended mixed ages. There seemed to be something for everyone and a specials board provided a welcome fish alternative to the usual roast. Service was friendly, welcoming and relaxingly unhurried. Easy parking is a bonus.

We have always had great service. And great Food in this Eatery ,congratulations to all the staff for their efforts.

Four of us came here on a wet Saturday for lunch. An extensive menu from bar snacks, sandwiches and more substantial meals. The servings were generous and the food very tasty. The four of us loved our meals. Highly recommend.

Went for lunch on Saturday. Had lovely meal at very reasonable price. Took parents. Pensioner's special great value. Staff very...

Live near this place so go quite often for drinks or a quick tea. Good atmosphere,good choice of food on the menu at very reasonable prices and delicious food

Living away from my home town, & how as my parents are getting older.

Like so many places very limited if your Gluton allergic however they do cater as best they can from the set menu Good service outside seating on a nice day and the food in general is good and generous portion size at reasonable prices Been many times and will still visit in future one of the best pub grub places in the area and very busy at tea times

Always worth a visit. Good welcoming staff who look after their customers. The Steak and Ale pie was our first choice and it didn't disappoint.

Visited for evening meal with hubby. The restaurant was not that busy but tables were reserved for later on. We had booked and were told we had been given table 3 . We went to find it , positioned under the flat screen TV, so all eyes were in our direction and right opposite the toilet door, great . Odours from the loo wafted out as the door opened and closed. After looking at the menu, chose Chicken Kiev, only to be told they do not do that any more, so why is it on the menu ? Second choice was Scampi which when it came looked ok but only little bits of scampi inside not whole scampi, served with cold chips and salad . Hubby had sausage, " instant " mash and peas. Service was quick and staff cheerful. We paid our bill a two meals for £12 and left within the hour. Budget meal , budget price .

Went last minute today and got the Sunday 3 meal deal. Starters prawn cocktail,beef roast dinner and apple crumble with custard and mother got sticky toffee pudding with icecream. Absolutely lovely all three courses..really enjoyed our food and will be returning. Good customer service,served quickly and politely. Thanks

Friendly pub and very welcoming. Food is the best pub grub in the area. This place is a must if you want a good feast with real pub grub and a pint of real ale

Lovely pub with nice food and friendly service from ALL the staff, was a relaxing evening which was busy but managed well, will definitely be back again was a fabulous evening thank you.

We have recently started to frequent the bay horse for a swift pint and/or lunch . The staff/owners are lovely friendly people who soon memorised our tipple and the pub is clean , warm and a great place to watch sport or simply drink with family or friends . Food is filling and wholesome. Nothing too fancy , it's simple and done well . We enjoy each and every visit . music is played in the bar and despite the restaurant side always being full and mostly booked in advance food can be eaten in the bar . For us it's a perfect place to catch a bite to eat . The landlady also pours a good pint !!!

Very good food friendly staff and an efficient service. Lots of choice on menu. Well recommended for the food. Can't comment on the beer as I've never really tried it

Food arrived quickly and hot, sticky toffee pudding and cream to die for, extensive range of menu all reasonable price

A pub that does pub food well. Basically does what it says on the tin.Nothing special but good pub food at a reasonable price.

The food here is ok, pub grub which is good for the price but it's nothing special. It's good for something quick as they don't leave you waiting long for your food. The staff were friendly but the place needs updating as it reminds me of someone's nanna's house. They do special meals and prices for OAP's as its in a quiet and lovely area of barrow. The beer garden is a nice size if you want to eat outside. I would come back if it was for a quick and cheap meal

This place is a hidden gem.The food is outstanding.we have been visiting this restaurant for the last 3 years we have also stayed overnight. The rooms are not cheap but worth it for the view.

Took my mother and my father in law for a meal. Booked a table the day before and reserved it. The staff were very friendly and helpful with my disabled parents and they went out of their way to get us a table near the door with easy accessThe food was excellent and for the price you couldn't go wrongStaff management and atmosphere was excellent.

Great Service excellent value. We were made very welcome. We will certainly be back again. Receiving a copy of the Christmas Menu in due course so hope to be visiting again then

I visited the Bay Horse on an early mid-week evening with a small family party.The menu is extensive with something for everyone along with a good children's section.Our selections were served by friendly staff and were fresh and hot. Although early evening there were a good number of diners, a popular place.First class food at a fair price.

A generous sized Sunday roast and good Value. We were lucky to get the last beef though as Diners after us only had one choice left which was Pork. We ate @ 2pm so not late for a Sunday. Would not expect them to run out of Menu items at this time. However we were unaffected! Not top quality but certainly good enough for a local Sunday Pub lunch

Have had a couple of meals here recently and found them to be excellently cooked and presented. Add to this a reasonably priced menu and you have the basis of a good visit. We also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.The venue also has an outside eating area which in theory is great on a warm summer day, but it's looking rather tired with worn out grass and bench type seating which is not the most comfortable. There's scope there to make it so much more appealing which hopefully they will be able to do.Despite this slight negative which is there to try to suggest improvements, we shall certainly be going back again.

Visited here last week and yesterday. Staff really friendly and pleasant. Had to return for the Steak, Ale and Mushroom pie which was really tasty. My Mother had scampi which was really nice and my friend had Smoothered chicken which he thought was great. Good choice on the menu

Eat here fairly regularly and never disappointed.Prices are very reasonable and service always good.Recommend the gammon on sizzling platter,it's delicious

My husband and I took our daughter to barrow hospital for procedure that would take 2hrs, he was told bout this pub where we could have some dinner while we waited for her. Food is beautiful from we walked in we were made welcome, the lady behind bar was really friendly 2 meals for £12. She even put the england match on in the lounge, nothing was to much trouble.

A beautiful location on the bay, made even better by great weather. The staff were very friendly. The menu was very limited either a sandwich or jacket potato, I asked for a salad and was told there was a side salad served with the potato or sandwich. Not great for diabetics, or those who have to be careful of their diet.

If this is the sort of meal your after then just eat at weatherspoons as its cheaper and quicker and just as average.. at best

This pub has an excellent quiz night every Tuesday, friendly staff and the food is very well priced. For £4.99 you can get a brilliant meal and salad which is very good value.

Third time we have eaten here when visiting the area but felt a bit let down. Had booked a table prior to arrival but waited a long time for food to be served (45 minutes)Felt that portion sizes had been reduced, a meagre portion of chips and the steak pie didn't have much meat in it but loads of gravy. Unfortunately won't be back.

I looked for a place to eat near the hospital & this seemed very handy . Plenty of car park space . It was busy but we managed to find a table. Staff very friendly , we got a drink & ordered our food . We waited & waited people who came in after us got there food & still we waited . In the end my husband went to see what was happening . The lady said 5 minutes . At last our food arrived the lady said the chef had burned my husbands sausages so they had to be cooked again , we said we should have been told & she agreed . The food was good & plentiful but we were a little disappointed with the service .

Just had a lovely meal, again. Inexpensive for the quality and the portions, we've never had a bad meal yet - always consistently good and we're made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff. Nothing is too much trouble, even packing up bits of leftover meat for the dogs - who greatly appreciated it. Highly recommend.

Recently moved nearby. Ate here twice. Food has been lovely both times. Have tried gammon, pie, steak and chicken & scampi dish. Can't fault it at all. Lady behind bar really friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere.

Visited with family 4 adults, 2 children this is our second time here while visiting family and once again we were not disappointed.All of us enjoyed our meal, my husband and I had the Steak Pie, it was delicious and piping hot, just couldn't fault anything at all. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and nothing seems too much trouble for them. We will most definitely go back again when in the area.

Best steak and ale pie ever tasted. No fat or gristle just lean meat and loads of gravy. Excellent value recommend you have it with the mushy peas.

Ate here tonight, food was excellent value & of a great standard. I had steak & chicken combo both were lovely & cooked to perfection the steak was one of the best I've had locally. My meal came with chips but I asked for new potatoes & this was no problem, also served with peas, tomato & onion rings. The rest of the family had various other meals ranging from Sunday roast to burgers & were all equally impressed. We will definitely be returning. Staff friendly & service was good. Only slight criticism would be the toilets they could do with a makeover! That's the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

I had a lasagne and it tasted of nothing, other family members didn't enjoy their deserts as they were poor quality. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were accommodating.

Lunch time , full of pensioners ( I am one but I do like a more mixed age group ) .food was lovely and it's good value for money . The service was excellent and staff very attentive and cheerful

Really good food,and plenty of it we went here for a staff do,and we were not disappointed.The mixed grill I had was brilliant,the rib eye was done as asked,medium rare,the thick ham...was thick ham,and the chicken was eaten with eagerness

Lovely little pub with friendly staff and hearty food. We stopped off here after a weekend visit to the area and would happily return.

Both of us had mixed grills on six lets, I had a small and partner had a larger and 2 alcoholic drinks and came to £25 which was very good value as the food was plentiful and tasted good, the staff were really friendly at the bar and bringing our food out. Only one thing is the steak wasn't cooked very well, I asked for a rare and looked more medium-well. But still tasted good will be revisiting.

Visited here for a quick lunch with a few friends, we chose to sit outside as it was a warm sunny day, nice tables on a grassed area. We all chose off the 2 meals for £12 menu,very good value, we were all pleased with our meals, staff are friendly so we will definitely go back again.

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere. Food always served promptly. I have never had a bad meal yet. Smaller portions but its reflected in the price. Larger meals available.

Very easy to get to with a large car park. The meals are of good value, for instance 2 meals for £12, we all had gammon, which was excellent and finished the meal with a glass of lager. I found the place pleasant and comfortable, and would recommend the Bay Horse, Barrow in Furness to anyone

The menu limited but the food is good. It's a handy place to stop for a meal if you are visiting Furness General Hospital. Give it a go the food is at a reasonable price.

Visited here with family 4 adults and 1 child, reserved a table which was in a lovely position in the window. Staff really pleasant and helpful, meals very tasty and very good value, will go back again when in the area.

Never had a bad meal here yet.....great staff and first class service. ....my wife always has the home made steak pie which is delicious. ....would recommend this establishment every day of the week

Went to the Bay Horse without a reservation, made very welcome, mixed grill was tasty and good valueMy daughter has a birthday coming up so will take my family for a meal in the knowledge that there will be something for everybody on the menu

Visited here with the family for Sunday Lunch, 4 adults and a toddler.The dining area is very cramped which soured the whole meal for me, my son in a high chair could easily reach onto the table behind him and my brother and the high chair had to move when someone wanted to get out.Food orders were at the bar which surprised me as judging by the demographic of the customers that I saw I thought table service would have been standard.The food was the plus point, good value and portion size and tasty too (homemade steak and kidney pie mmmmm)no issues here, space again though was an issue with the tables just that bit too small for 4 adults.Apart from the apparent lack of space all seemed good until I needed to change my son, baby change facilities were in the women's toilets which isn't a lot of good for a single dad so my disabled mother had to take him in, which was followed my a comment that the venue seemed to lack facilities for disabled toilet use - hmmmmAlthough the food was good and well priced I want to be able to relax whilst I eat not feel like I'm joining in on the next tables conversation

We have used this eatery many times ,and always it is very well priced and good value, Food that is cooked properly, and wonderful service. It is a credit to the owners

Food - Great menu, plenty of choice, excellent value and most importantly hot, fresh and tasty.Atmosphere - Friendly, relaxed and great for both adults and childrenWelcome - Staff cant do enough for you, quick service.Other - Plenty of parking and nice gardens.

Great service and excellent value for money. Good range of meals and sweets. meals were well prepared and presented.Very popular recommend booking to guarantee a table.

Called in whilst passing and thought we would get a bite of lunch. The staff were very friendly and the food was hot and fresh. We had the 2 meals for £12 deal. Considering they are on as a special deal, they are good sizes and really good value for money. The steak and ale pie had lots of chunks of tender beef in a tasty gravy.Would definitely drop in again for a decent lunch. Staff were really friendly and polite.

Prices and quality is excellent staff are always friendly cannot complain! Would recommend this to anyone

The food is very good for the price. It won't win any awards or be on any TV programme but you will be satisfied with the quality and price. Very friendly staff and kid frendly. A great place to go with friends or family.

we went on a sunday evening on the first sunday of the new year so expected it to be quiet, that said the staff were attentive and friendly, the food excellent

I've been here now a few times and the the pub offers brilliant value for money. Yes the food won't win any Michelin stars awards but you know exactly what your getting for a brilliant price. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff so all in all a big thumbs up.

I visited the Bay Horse last evening, Thursday 18th December, for a pre-Christmas meal with some work friends. We were very impressed & a lovely time was had by all. Excellent prompt, polite, efficient service & delicious food. I would definitely recommend the smothered steak...fabulous! I ordered the Ribeye with Wexford sauce...this comprised a layer of Stilton on the meat, & then it was topped with a tasty peppercorn sauce which had a lovely kick to it. Cooked perfectly...medium/rare as requested & served with chips, onion rings & a grilled tomato. The best thing was the quality of the steak...it was juicy and tender & just mouth-watering! It was far superior to a ribeye I had at Jamie's Italian recently...double the quality at less than half the price! I shall definitely be visiting again soon.

The Bay Horse gives value for money meals consistently every time. Nothing fancy and arty but tastey and holsome food and at very affordable prices. Give it a go, I would like to think you will not be disappointed.

Ordered from the specials board. Large cod, thought it would be fresh, oh no, frozen. Large gammon, never had a gristly gammon in my life, until now. Lounge full of screeching brats. Avoid......
